I have owned many F150, and F250 ford trucks in my life.
From a 1973 F150 to my 1994 F150 4x4
I currently still own and drive my 1994 with 245,000 miles.
1994 F-150 4x4 XLT Off Road
3" Custom Body Lift (1999)
4" Rancho Suspension Lift (2007)
Tires - 35" x 12.50" x 15" Rim
302 5.0 liter Engine
The only things replaced since it was built in 1994
- Oil Pan gasket
- Idler Pulley
- Water Pump
- Surp Belt
- Transmission @ 220,000 miles (I was pulling a Bobcat for a while)
- Battery, my last battery was 11yrs old, Sears Diehard Silver - miracle
- Starter Motor (2010 a couple months ago)
I have done all matinence, and repairs myself as with all my vehicles
However recently it dies when I stop 90% of the time.
it started out doing once in a while, now almost everytime I stop.
it idles high 2500 RPM then idles to 0 RPM it started a couple months ago.
I believe it to be an O2 sensor.. But they say there are 2, I only see the one below the exaust manifold passenger side on the pipe. which is what brought me to the forums.

Thanks "bobkyle2"
I would have done this sooner, but it has been cold, and I've been really busy. If I knew how easy this was I would have done it sooner.
Hope this info helps.

Update:
Here's my truck now.
I was rear ended at 70MPH by a ford ranger back in april .
I Only recieved $2200.00 for entire truck which is about what the lift cost me.
However I kept the truck and bought a 1996 F-150 with a 300 Strait 6.
My plan is to build a nice 4x4 from both trucks.
After Wreck
96 F-150 XL 2wd 300 strait 6 4.9L
